type Flusher interface {
    // Flush sends any buffered data to the client.
    Flush()
}

The Flusher interface is implemented by ResponseWriters that allow an HTTP handler to flush buffered data to the client.

The default HTTP/1.x and HTTP/2 ResponseWriter implementations support Flusher, but ResponseWriter wrappers may not. Handlers should always test for this ability at runtime.

Note that even for ResponseWriters that support Flush, if the client is connected through an HTTP proxy, the buffered data may not reach the client until the response completes.
